I won two awards!

The winners of the 2015 Veneertech Craftsman’s Challenge were announced today at the AWFS Fair in Las Vegas and while I didn’t place “in the money”, I did manage to win special judge’s awards for my jewellery box in the marquetry category and my old Jack in the box in the specialty items category.
I’m pretty pleased, there were a lot of very good entries.

Big congratulations Paul! There were some fantastic entries in the show, but none better than yours IMHO, and you managed to get awards in two different categories. Very impressive.

Paul,

Congratulations on the recognition!

I’m always amazed at what judges select. While there were many excellent entries, the grand prize was one of our least liked ones!
